Skinnedbutton Plugin issue in win 7 -64 bit

Question

I am using SkinnedButton-v1.2.zip (23 KB) - v1.2 by Slappy for skinning my installer buttons.

Its working fine everywhere except on Windows 7 64bit where the buttons are not showing image, neither the text the like 'Back, next , cancel' its just showing white buttons.

There is no skin button error coming up, however buttons are enabled and can be clicked.

Any idea what is the cause of this Issue?

Answer 1

Issue resolved using patched SkinnedControls plugin from here.

Answer 2

There are two possible errors:

1) Initialization function of installer is called .onInit (your is '.onint')

That means the $PLUGINSDIR is never initialized and file is not extracted.

2) Your Function myGuiInit is nowhere called/initialized.

You should define symbol MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT for this function, example:

!define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT "myGuiInit"

The best place to define this is somewhere at the beginning of script - near other MUI_ stuff.

Answer 3

I run the plug-in in Debug mode and I found out that there is problem with

SetWindowLong() and GetWindowLong()

functions.

Maybe using SetWindowLongPtr and GetWindowLongPtr could solve this. They take/return a LONG_PTR variable which is set depending on the compiler. It is a 32 bit long on x86 and a 64 bit _int64 on x64.

So the plug-in must be fixed and rebuild to support x64 machines. But because this plug-in is really outdated (at this moment I have no time for new version), please rather try my other tool/plug-in called Graphical Installer: http://www.graphical-installer.com/

I have developed this solution to quickly skin NSIS installers, I hope you will like it (sorry for self promo).
